"I know," Garnet responds, the second word half lost as she doesn't wait to press her lips to Pearl's. She pulls at her lips, feeling the softness of Pearl's, a little cold from her having just come home. Pearl's scent surrounds her a little, when Pearl breathes out, and it feels grounding and real. Pearl is tired and stressed, worried and sad, and she wants Garnet to help her. Garnet will do everything she can for Pearl.

Garnet breaks the kiss slowly, pulling at Pearl's bottom lip as she parts, biting just slightly as Pearl's lip leaves hers. She opens her eyes to look at her, serious and determined. "You've been really falling behind lately, Pearl." She sets her jaw, clenches it. "I'm disappointed."
